For the title of the XII Civil Society Development Forum, we use the theme of Lesya Ukrainka’s parable of the same name and invite you to think together – what gives us strength? Strength to fight, not to abandon hope, not to despair, not to give up. To continue to be inventive, enterprising, to unite – the strength for being Ukrainians and preserving humanity and our service. Lesya, our national symbol of indomitability, gave her answer to this question, and we invite all Forum participants to search for their own answers together, from the point of view of today’s war, today’s challenges.
The 12th Annual Civil Society Development Forum is organized by the Initiative Center to Support Social Action “Ednannia“ (ISAR Ednannia) and has been made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development as a part of its Ukraine Civil Society Sectoral Support Activity, implemented by Ednannia in the consortium with the Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research and the Center for Democracy and Rule of Law; with the financial support of the International Renaissance Foundation and the European Union within the framework of the project “European Renaissance of Ukraine”; with the financial support of the USAID/ENGAGE activity, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development and implemented by Pact; with support of “The Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine” financed by United Kingdom, Canada, United States of America, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland; co-funded by the European Union; with support of the UNDP projects “Civil Society and Youth Support” and “Promotion of human security in Ukraine through responding to the multidimensional crisis caused by the war” funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the Government of Japan; with support of the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine in partnership with the Secretariat of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; with the financial support of the United States Agency for International Development within the framework of the project “Responsible and Accountable Politics in Ukraine“ and within the Promoting Inclusion and Combating Discrimination program thanks to generous support of the British people through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office which is implemented by the National Democratic Institute; in cooperation with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Global Affairs Canada, and UK aid.
